Waltzing Along posted:I'd never played a metroid until dread and I was very confused why people were raving about it so much. If it wasn't Nintendo/metroid I think it wouldn't have ever gotten any notice at all. Play Zero Mission. You might not get what makes it special on one playthrough, but it's one of the only games that was designed with sequence breaking in mind. You can go off the recommended path and get upgrades way before you're supposed to, making you more powerful and saving you a ton of backtracking. While Super Metroid lets you use wall jumping and infinite bomb jumps, most of the other games only let you sequence break with glitches. Zero Mission has no glitches, at least not anything useful for speedrunning. Every path was put there by the developer thinking several steps ahead, carefully considering exactly which items you could have at each location so you couldn't get softlocked, which is the real reason most games try to avoid sequence breaking. It's not even my favourite one lol. It just pulled off the Metroid genre of puzzle box world the best. I just wish they had put in the other two bosses and areas from Super Metroid instead of the Zero Suit Samus segment. Besides, I think that design is just embarrassing and should never have been made.

Dwarf Fortress doesn't let you commit regicide! This rear end in a top hat just waltzes in and thinks I'll build him some fancy quarters??  Hmm... perhaps I can throw him into a pit... or trap him in a room and fill it with water. itry fucked around with this message at 22:16 on Dec 24, 2022 |

site posted:i had somehow gotten to one of the later areas without getting a power up i was supposed to have, but i can't remember the specifics of where and what now If you're talking about the place I think you're talking about, you can only get there out of sequence by doing a rather difficult multi bomb jump that ends with bombing through a destructible roof tile that you're normally supposed to come through from the other direction. Basically, it's significantly harder to get into the pseudo softlock then it is too get out of it. You'd have to be pretty dedicated to doing something that is not only clearly unintended, but also actually quite hard to pull off, hence the head-in-banister analogy.

The non lethal run in metal gear solid was much more interesting before they gave out the blue guns which were just outright better than the red ones.

Panzeh posted:The non lethal run in metal gear solid was much more interesting before they gave out the blue guns which were just outright better than the red ones. Shame you couldn’t actually do a non-lethal run in MGS1. There’s some setpieces that require you to kill people to progress. A low kill count is needed for the Big Boss rank so the game does reward you for it. Other than Twin Snakes, Portable Ops and MGS4, all the other games do something to make the game more than just tranq headshots. In 2 you have to find a terminal in each area to enable your radar, 3 made suppressors wear out and had no laser sight, Peace Walker added helmets and V made the dart follow a trajectory so they’re a bit harder to aim. You can also get a huge score bonus called No Traces if you never fire a gun.

If not for MGS2 going totally off the rails I probably never would have played the series or remembered it as anything more than "oh yeah that stealth game", but I remember the ending being so absolutely batshit insane and unprecedented at the time that my brother who was playing it came and found me and said "get in here, you have to watch this". And I showed up right around when Snake breaks the 4th wall and points at his bandana and says "Infinite ammo." and I (knowing vaguely that the unlockable Bandana in MGS1 gave infinite ammo) busted out laughing. I think that's the first time I'd ever seen a videogame be self-referential like that (I didn't grow up playing any of the old point&click adventure games that did that a lot).

MP1's controls were a fair bit idiosyncratic, but they were designed sensibly for the GC controller and the game was designed around them in such a way that once you get used to them, everything flows really well IMO. MP2 was okay but, idk, just not as compelling in terms of environments and abilities. There's something about MP1 that makes me want to go back to it over and over again, whereas MP2 I played once and was done.

This was 10+ years ago, but basically you put the royal rear end in a top hat in the room (the toilet) and pull a lever. The lever opens a bunch of floodgates all around the toilet (toilet don't work without a lot of water) and the royal rear end in a top hat gets swept away with the water into an open hole in the middle of the room. The hole leads to underground caverns where he'll hopefully be quickly torn apart by ghouls or spiders or whatever. Once flushed, someone else comes and pulls a different lever which closes all those floodgates, unlocks the door and lets the basin fill back up. There are easier ways to kill a guy but I think being literally flushed away in a big ol' toilet to your doom is appropriate for rich assholes. It's praxis.

WILDTURKEY101 posted:I returned it at launch because it didnt have a million planets and huge animals, it had 3 planets with randomized RGB colors and several animal parts that were slapped together. This has not really been fixed. It still is not like those original trailers. There is plenty of crafting and multiplayer, but the wild exploration and crazy animals still arent there. You are better off with Subnautica if that is what you want. When's the last time you saw the trailer or seen the game? The game is pretty much like the trailer now but with more stuff and even crazier creatures? The trailer is just someone slowly walking through a landscape towards their ship with some animals around, which is 100% what you can do in the game. The trailer didn't have any exploration and watching it again just now the trailer is missing lots of stuff that's in the game now and isn't lacking anything shown. Not a great trailer, maybe y'all meant something else, because this original trailer doesn't seem to promise all that much lol and what it does is there.

I was a Sega kid so played Super Metroid after Castlevania:SOTN and thought it was pretty good and liked Metroid Prime on release. I loved Metroid Fusion. I want to play Dread on my partners Switch, but will not pay over £17.99 for it, and since its a Nintendo title, I guess that won't happen ever.
